"Decapitated: A Glimpse into the Dark History of Beheadings" Step into a world where heads roll and power is severed. From Gustav Klimt's haunting depiction of Judith to Artemisia Gentileschi's fierce portrayal of Judith and Holofernes, beheading has long held a macabre fascination. Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII's tumultuous relationship echoes through time, their tragic end forever marked by the executioner's blade. The likes of Justin Martyr, Lord Lovat, Countess of Salisbury, James Duke Monmouth also met this gruesome fate. Even South American cannibals in the 16th century embraced decapitation as part of their rituals, reminding us that such acts transcend cultures. St. Denis holding his own head with angelic guardians on the Virgin portal sends shivers down our spines. Intriguingly, Queen Margaret placing a paper crown on the head of the Duke of York captures an eerie blend between symbolism and reality. Was it an 18th-century creation or an authentic glimpse into history? The Horsemen of the Apocalypse ride forth with death wielding its scythe - beheading being one method to claim souls. And who can forget Catherine Howard's miniature portrait capturing her doomed destiny? Beheaded - a word that evokes fear and fascination alike; it reveals humanity at its darkest moments when power clashes with mortality. These glimpses into history remind us that even in our modern age, we are captivated by these tales from yesteryears' blood-soaked pages.
